As the body prepares for the end of menstruation the hormonal balance shifts. These changes can start ten years before your last period, and can affect a lot more than the monthly cycle. Keeping a log during this time can help you better understand what is happening, predict your changing cycles and symptoms, and communicate with health-care providers if you need to do so. For example, if you have been feeling very tired you can show in detail when, for how long, and what else has been going on. Use the information you record to help you answer the question "How can I best take care of myself?"
